I kept my Irish accent, it just got a bit posher From O-ver Pro-Nounc-Ing My Words So Peo-Ple Could Un-Der-Stand Me.

I've done the Moving Back After Yonks thing. My situation's quite different to yours as I don't have kids and left a permanent pensioned job in London to come back to no job in Dublin. Glad I didn't have to be locked down in London (that job wouldn't have had a work-from-home option). It sounds...
